Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
A typical summer week… When you think of summer weather you think heat, humidity, and afternoon storms. That is exactly what we will see this week! Highs will reach the upper 80s today. With the humidity, afternoon heat index values will reach the low to mid 90s. Expect a mix of mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies today. An isolated shower/storm could pop-up this afternoon, but rain will not be widespread.
Highs will return to the upper 80s tomorrow, but it will feel like the low 90s. Expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies with afternoon scattered showers and storms. Our chances for showers and storms will pick up for Wednesday and Thursday.
The summer trend will continue for the holiday weekend. Expect highs in the mid to upper 80s with a heat index in the low to mid 90s. We will see partly cloudy skies with afternoon scattered showers/storms.
